Hello and happy Monday all my fellow bloggers :) This past week has been so hot here in Florida, and summer technically begins June 21! I don't know about you, but when the temperature outside rises, I hate to wear makeup that feels heavy and piled on. It makes me feel yucky because I can almost feel it melting off my skin!
A great alternative for a foundation during the summer time is a BB Cream. BB Creams act like a tinted moisturizer, in addition to hydrating and evening out skin tones. BB creams also treat the skin with antioxidants or other anti-aging ingredients, plus offer broad-spectrum SPF. Who doesn't love those benefits :) Here I will list my top 5 BB Cream picks for summer:
Estée Lauder Daywear Anti-Oxidant Beauty Benefit Creme SPF 35: This BB Cream is specifically for those who have oily skin. The oil-free cream stops shine, and moisturizes with hyaluronic acid. It doesn't leave the skin looking matte, but almost a slight glow to the skin. And since it's a BB cream, it's also got an anti-aging component (it contains antioxidants including vitamins E and C).
Garnier Skin Renew Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream SPF 15: One of my favorites of all time, this BB Cream contains both hyaluronic acid and glycerin so it's very moisturizing for the skin. The light formula covers minor imperfections, is easy to blend over dry areas, and generally feels really nice. It also contains Vitamin C which helps brighten the skin.
Clinique Age Defense BB Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 30: This almost mimics a lightweight foundation. It contains caffeine to soften lines, and vitamin E and seaweed extract to control oil production, which will help your makeup stay on longer.
Dr. Jart+ Water Fuse BB Beauty Balm with SPF 25: If you have sensitive skin, this BB Cream might be for you. The delicate lotion helps neutralize redness, though it won't replace your foundation. Fragrance free, this BB Cream has a high water content makes it feel cooling, and aloe treats redness and soothes complexions.
Stila Stay All Day 10-in-1 HD Beauty Balm: This BB Cream would be great for more mature skin, as it contains very small micro-spheres that are supposed to reduce the appearance of wrinkle depth by 84 percent. It contains peptides to treat fine lines and wrinkles. Be cautious though, as this one does not contain SPF.
We love the Garnier BB Cream, It's one of our summer faves! :)
